The use of a plant factory is typically associated with the cultivation of edible biomass for local markets within the urban environment and leads to economic feasibility being evaluated in this context. This paper explored the use of plant factories to produce biomass and value-added compounds for the biorefining industry to help frame the debate regarding the expansion of plant factory applicability to the greater biorefining value chain. Information regarding plant factory technology, crop selection for biorefining markets, and the industrial integration potential of plant factories was used to evaluate the economic feasibility of theoretical plant factory scenarios. From these scenarios, it was shown that plant factories showed economic feasibility while serving the food market and had significant potential in the biopharmaceutical market when accumulating adequate levels of biopharmaceutical products within the plants grown in the plant factories. These results suggested economic feasibility beyond the food market by selecting appropriate crops, based on plant factory and end-user market demands, and value-added compounds which could be accumulated in economically viable quantities.

“…Several studies have modeled the feasibility of camelina for general characteristics of a biofuel source, as well as the economic feasibility of growing camelina for biofuel production (Ciubota‐Rosie et al., 2013; Keske et al., 2013). Camelina oil has properties that allow the creation of hydroprocessed renewable jet fuel as well as biodiesel (Berti et al., 2016; Dangol et al., 2017; Resurreccion et al., 2021; Shonnard et al., 2010). One study found that using the entire plant (both seeds and straw) is an environmentally and economically sustainable way to create biodiesel, ethanol, and glycerin without laborious extraction methods that would counteract the environmental benefits of creating a cleaner fuel (Mohammad et al., 2018).…”

National winter oilseeds review for potential in the US Mid‐South: Pennycress, Canola, and Camelina

Winter oilseeds are cool season Brassica crops currently being grown in the upper Midwest and North-West of the United States. They have the potential to function as dual crops when grown in rotation with corn, soybean, and small grains. They provide many of the benefits of typical cover crops over winter, with the added benefit of extra revenue to growers who sell the seeds for uses such as biofuel, industrial products, human consumption, or animal feed. This review gathers current agronomic and industrial use information about canola (Brassica napus L.), camelina [Camelina sativa (L.) Crantz], and pennycress (Thlaspi arvense L.). Currently, most research involving these crops is specific to the Midwest. This review also poses questions regarding how these crops could be adapted to grow in the Mid-South, with further research being necessary in several areas before promoting adoption in the region.

“…Indeed, several recent studies continue to examine sustainability without incorporating social considerations or focusing solely on economic sustainability [7,8]. When social sustainability is included, it tends to focus on a development perspective with a particular focus on basic needs [9].…”

Scope of biofuel certification is reviewed. It has been found that a biofuel certification is needed in the biofuels industry to authenticate biodiesel and its blends for use in diesel engines.In the world, a standard energy audit method is required to evaluate the feasibility of biodiesel blend as fuel and also harmonise the research of biodiesel as fuel. Leagal measures for biofuel certification is required. There are various obstacles and challenges for biofuel certification. Therefore, this paper addresses the legal measures, obstacles and challenges for biofuel certification.
